Zaqqum News

[Heiderich]

The town square was full this day. Much like a normal center of any town, this place was bustling with people. Just because they were in this world, didn't mean they didn't like to shop apparently. Wilhelm came to a stop, surveying the area for suspicious activity. Some people were shopping...some were admiring the elegant statue of their Queen that rest in the middle of the area. Folding his arms loosely against his chest, he continued to walk. Some stopped in wake of him, knowing him as the General of the Megaminions...a question lingering on their minds...

What brings him here?

Some wished to challenge the man to his position. This place was full of greed and desire to reach higher ranks, so it was never an uncommon thought. Others wondered what brought the seemingly young General to the Town Square this evening- it was rare that he ventured far from his quarters to the town...implying that he must have honest suspicion of the town today. Wilhelm eyed people very carefully as he walked past. It was true- rumors had spread about Town about a group of radicals after the royal family. But then again. citizens of Zaqqum were never very trustworthy- just out to play pranks- but a threat must never go uninvestigated.

Cindra walked towards the castle, taking the route through town as she wanted to see another living soul. she had been moving from Magicoz and back again by her queen's orders.
surveying the guardians and such...and of course her little night out with the twin of the future emperor of magioz.

Looking ahead she noticed an unfamiliar presence. She have never seen him before, and was fully intent on seeing who he was.Moving up to walk beside him, she smiled politely towards him.

"Now you are a newbie to Zaqqum. Then again I have been running errands for Lady Sagura, so I haven't been here to meet new citizens"

She moved to stand in front of him, blocking him from walking further.
"The name's Cindra Kuramoto, Personal Guard to the Queen, and you are sugar?"

[Heiderich]

He stopped abruptly, pulling a foot back to pull back from her just a step. A surprising interjection, but not necessarily unwelcome. Heiderich looked her up and down before assessing the situation and letting the information she gave him sink in. With a slight nod, his mouth pulled into a narrow grin- like that of a dog.

"Nor have I met you, Fräulein*," He replied, the accent heavy in his voice, "I rarely leave my quarters anyhow, so I am meeting many people for the first time, you see."

Wilhelm reached up to pull the hat off his head, placed it against the left side of his chest, and bowed to the lady. Once he returned to normal, he placed the hat once again upon his head.

"I am Wilhelm Heiderich. You may call me by either names. Lady Sagura calls me the General of the Megaminions." He chuckled out smoothly; he made comfortable conversation, but nonetheless he was still tense around any other person- this was no exception, "It is my pleasure to meet you."

(*Fräulein = "Miss" in German.)

[Cindra Kuramoto]

Cindra smiled
"Oh so you are the dashing man I kept hearing about since I stepped foot in Zaqqum. Rumors are spreading fast about you sugar, all good I assure you."

She moved out of his way, to stand and continue walking beside him.
"I hope you are cut out for this very important position. The last General of the Megas betrayed our queen and Zaqqum, he was a snake who only ever thought of himself, and he has an enlarged ego of himself. I only hope you don't disappoint our queen like he did countless times while under her service." cindra spoke casually, her voice full of detest for the ex-general

[Heiderich]

Wilhelm quirked an eyebrow curiously, raising his arms once more to fold against his chest. His blue eyes gleamed with a certain questioning to her response. "Rumors, yes?" He snickered out, "I'm glad they are all good. However, citizens in this town are hard to trust sometimes..."

While she told him of the past generals, he glanced at her to survey her quickly. He suddenly grew very awkward, but kept his almost thin-rugged charm as he stood with her. It was not often Heiderich had been approached by a woman of any status, without reason to slap him or attempt to murder him on the spot (he was not a very well-liked person in his time, clearly). The weight her words put on his shoulder was heavy, but he had no intention of failing his Queen either. Another quality from his life at home was being easily-dominated--in a militaric way. He was never one to betray his master.

"I beseech you to put your worries to rest, my lady." Wilhelm churned out smoothly, "I was given this out of what I assume was trust and great expectation...I would not betray our Queen. Where I come from, I am quite the War buff--a skilled tactician. But never would I dream of using these abilities with ill-intent for Lady Sagura".

((OOC: I apologize for the late reply. They'll come quicker, promise. Just had some stuff IRL to deal with :]))

[Cindra Kuramoto]

(( no prob hun, You are forgiven for now ))

Cindra smirked at hearing his response
"Good, glad to hear it, because I would hate having to kill you for any type of treason" she said with a smile, but her tone of voice was all but friendly.

"You have no worries here then, Lady Sagura is quite lenient when it comes to her more trusted 'pets' which is all who serve her in battle mainly. She'll probably treat you like a child sometimes too, but trust me, she means it all in respect. When she likes you, she's sort of mother-ish towards you." Cindra laughed lightly
